Spain beat Czechia 3-1, with Yamal, Rodri and Merino decisive

Spain vs Czechia

Spain defeated Czechia 3-1, with reports describing the result as another victory for the world champions and a continuation of their winning run.

The scoreline was reported by BBC, The Guardian and Goal.com in coverage dated 03 Oct 2026.

The result also kept Spain’s perfect Nations League record intact, according to Goal.com.

Yamal, Rodri and Merino decide the match

Goal.com credited Lamine Yamal, Rodri and Mikel Merino with firing Spain to victory over the Czech Republic.

Another Goal.com report highlighted Lamine Yamal and Rodri, describing their performances as a “masterclass” in a result that maintained Spain’s perfect Nations League record.

The available reports therefore identify the three Spanish players as the decisive figures in the 3-1 result, while the exact sequence of the goals is not provided in the source material.

Spain extend their run

BBC’s report framed the victory as one that allowed the world champions to maintain their winning run.

Goal.com went further in its assessment, saying the “Matadors continue to write the greatest unbeaten run”.

That description places the result within a broader period of sustained success for Spain, although the source material does not provide the length of the unbeaten run or a match-by-match record.

The Guardian included Spain’s 3-1 win over Czechia in its Nations League live reaction coverage, alongside North Macedonia’s 0-2 defeat to Scotland.

The different reports use both “Czechia” and “Czech Republic” when referring to Spain’s opponents, but they agree on the scoreline and the outcome.

For Spain, the significance of the result is clear in the available coverage: it preserves a perfect Nations League record, extends a winning run and adds to the unbeaten sequence described by Goal.com.
